Okay so I put on a brave face and went. My doctor was nice and he actually seemed to know what he was talking about (which is a first). Thanksyou for the encouragement :hug:.
Going to the doctor can be scary, but it really is better to be assured that you taking good care of yourself physically. Meeting anyone new can be scary but the nice thing about doctors is that they are there to help us and that's a good place to begin.
I hope that your new doctor is both kind and understanding. :nod:
There's another technique that works and that is to do free-brainstorming. Just type any thought you might have on the subject and don't worry about connecting up the dots until you have a fair amount of text. It adds up faster than you'd expect.
I need a little encouragement to finish reading a lot of material for my research... I think my fear of messing it up is interfering with me actually finishing the work (I know, stupid).
Thank you! :hug: It's been a tough year but I believe it's gonna get better if I just keep moving forward.
And good luck with the paper you have to write. Here's a thought: have you got some sort of recorder that you could "talk" your paper into? I used to do that when I was in college. One semester I had to write an astounding 25 papers, and I never would have gotten through without talking and transcribing.
That's a very wise thought. :hug: I would like to use what I have learned to help other people.
Lemurian hugs :hug: to you and my sympathies to your friend who lost her mom. I think I would just die without my mom, we talk everyday on the phone. It must have been a very hard to decision for you last year to let her go. :hug: Hugs to you. I know your pain will somehow become a comfort for your friend right now.
Hugs also to all pregnant people here, I would be very scared to have a baby. A friend of mine had diabetes during her pregnancy, but she did what the doctor told her and she got through it. You will too.
This thread has not been posted in in a while, but I just need a little encourangement. I have to go see a new doctor tomorrow, and I hate doctors. Especially male ones, so I just thought I would post in here asking for soem encouraging words to help me feel more motivated to actually go.
I've got a tough week ahead--I'm trying to help a friend whose mom died yesterday. In the past ten months, five people whom I know have died.
And it all just makes me remember my mother's death: on the day before my birthday last year I had to make the decision to remove my mother's life support. I was her primary caregiver for years and she was my best friend as well as my mother. It was very upsetting.
